1668 New Academy Emerges!



All in all, many volunteers were looking forward to receiving their gift basket, wondering what goods they might get. Especially the women who prayed to get vouchers from the many Baymardian clothing store brands they recognized.

Damn.

They really wanted those Fall and winter clothes in the catalogs. Their eyes shone with fierceness, swearing to exchange any other voucher they got with others if they didn't see what they wanted.

Heck! They also wanted the 5-spa voucher package which included 10 free services for the selected services highlighted.

They could get their nails done, they could get their body hairs waxed in certain areas, could get massages, they could get their eyebrows threaded, they could get Beauty facials, and finally, they could get their eyelashes or eyebrows tinted for free!

Can you imagine that? 

In the end, all this only made them more motivated to rescue the birds!

Seeing how much work was left to be done, the leaders estimated the digging to be done within 4 days. 

After which the official search will begin.

All in all, Lucy might stay here for a week and a half, which made the Witches boil in hiding.

Because they underestimated how fast and in control Baymardian vehicles traveled, Lucy's entourage passed their little disturbance on the way.

So their plan for giving her a surprise attack was a failure. 

If not for the fact that Lucy had to stop by in 2 other cities before reaching here, they would've never caught up to her so

Luckily the place where they planned their surprise attack was only 1 day away from this city. 

So they were able to rush fast without sleep to barely make it 50 or so minutes before Lucy entered the Hotel. 

Change of plans. 

They decided to watch the attack when Lucy was leaving. That was the only way. Leaving but of course, they couldn't do it when she was in that vehicle. The piece of heavy metal was so thick and secure that arrows, spears, and hidden weapons couldn't penetrate it so for a surprise attack. Again, with how fast it could go, their arrows would most likely miss aim too. 

Luckily for them, Lucy had vaguely given out her itinerary about the roads she would use when coming here and the tone she would take when heading back. 

From what they knew, she would be stopping in a few more cities and towns when going back. So they had to attack the town called Guildford, which was the least populated place among all the places she intended to stop in. 

Here, she was too well guarded not just by her men, but by the many Arcadian nobles anand important personnel who came here from various parts of Arcadina for this occasion. 

Anyone who attempts to assassinate her here would be a fool! 

No. 

They had to kill her in another town or city. That was the only way. And if they still couldn't do it... well, it seems they would have to go back to their initial plans... -Infiltrating Baymard and taking her down!

Although the earlier group that went into Baymard was mostly killed with only 1 survivor making it out, they understood that they were defeated by Lucy alone. 

From how easily the group handled matters then, it showed that Baymard was still not strong enough to take them out.

Bear in mind that for their trip to Pyno, 2/3rd of their population came over to settle the matter once and for all.

At present, their massive group was scattered in their various taverns and pubs for peasants, working in disguise while laying in wait to receive orders. 

Yes. Receiving orders was what they had to do. 

They were waiting for the day when they had to storm over to Baymard to make their move! 

That was their last alternative if the Surprise attack on Lucy doesn't work.

Of course, even though they hated the Traitor's daughter, they intended to take her alive so she could make their Organization wealthy with how smart she was to be able to come up with all these Baymardian technologies.

Yes. Only a woman can come up with them. Men were pigs who liked stealing ideas from women during pillow talks in bed.

Thinking about their next move, the witches sat back and relaxed, only observing Lucy from a safe distance. Watching from the distance were also Sebastien's men who relayed everything that went on daily. 

As Lucy was already determined to be their young master's future wife, they dared not miss any information when speaking. 

Seeing Lucy, Sebastien clenched his fist, wishing he could speed up matters involving taking over Arcadina. 

Only when Arcadina is his can he reveal himself and take over Baymard too. 

Patience was all he needed, but right now he felt he had none. 

Like so, the oblivious Lucy went about her day not knowing what dark forces plotted against her.

But just as she was focused on her goal, those not too far away also did the same.

--Code B, District B, Capital City, Baymard, Pyno--

.

Code A was the entire left side of District B... and Code B was the entire right side of District B. 

Code B was a military zone mostly filled with army personnel and barracks. And in another area further into the zone, far, far away from the many barracks, was a grand property with newly built structures and clear vast roads where one looked.

The property had over 15 incredibly huge buildings, with the tallest being 3 stories high. Mind you, from the looks of things, the first floor should be a high-ceiling floor, and the buildings also seemed to have underground floors too. 

However, though they don't look so tall, they made up for it by their width which took up the space of 7~12 homes lined up along each other. And in one of these buildings, several people waited anxiously, their eyes darting around in confusion.

Can anyone tell them why they were in a brand new academy when they only came for a job?

The Baymardian AVIATION Academy of Excellence!

That was the name.
